Unlucky7 posted:Oh right, I heard about this in previews and elsewhere that for whatever dumb reason, there is no way to access tutorial screens after you initially get them. There's even stupider things than that. There are in-game tutorials which you...have to buy. From a poorly marked shopkeep. Which only gives you a sort of half-hearted two-sentence description of mechanics.

Rest of the cast seems pretty cool. I think I'm just unphased by dumb pants anymore these days. I'm guessing someone will probably post up all the tutorials shortly after launch. I could try and grab them all as I go but I'm probably going to be playing a lot slower than most people anyway. Also it sounds like the 1.1 patch fixed a bunch of UI issues with the game so there's that.

Gimme a XCX recut edition for the Switch that fixes the faces & removes the need to bring specific characters for story missions.

I really don't understand the complaint about having to bring Lyn and Elma along for story missions. I mean, yeah, it's kind of annoying, but it's also like maybe 10% of the game max? And easily the worst 10% at that. I think they were actually in my party for less cumulative time than basically anyone else, since I figured I'd just use them when absolutely necessary.

And a new soundtrack that doesn't blast horrible music as you are trying to listen to the characters/story. I'd buy a switch if they came out with a Xenoblade 1 remaster. XCX was not a good game in my opinion.

Seems a day 1 patch hit that fixed a bunch of UI stuff and also added an event viewer for rewatching cutscenes. Still doesn't seem like you can review tutorials, but it maybe indicates it could come at some point I'm still not used to this era of Nintendo games getting patches, and day 1 patches at that

Louisgod posted:Shame Xenoblade 2 has turned into a loving generic predictable anime shitfest instead of the pioneer the first game was. The thing that made the original such a standout was how it broke traditional JRPG tropes (inns, saves, battles, you name it) but also offered a cast that was incredibly likable and a story that had really cool "WHAT THE gently caress" moments. The anime tropes that were in it were overshadowed by what the game got right. Kind of a jerky post, my dude.

lol xenoblade was great but it didn't pioneer poo poo, unless you count cockney accents. it has always been weird as gently caress with ridiculous plots and characters; the climax of XC1 was mindmelting. Kotaku posted a video review but unfortunately it was done by resident otaku dipshit Tim Rogers so it's worthless.

DLC Inc posted:gamespot 7/10 review: " Once again, the stout and furry Nopon creatures are an annoyance on par with Jar Jar Binks" uhhhhh there were actual jar jar binks aliens in XCX that were really bad. how dare you poo poo on Nopons Gamespot continues to be terrible. While I will agree that Tatsu is easily Jar Jar-grade garbage(and Lin wasn't much better), Riki was great and the Nopon in general are fine. TurnipFritter posted:Riki was a Rogue and Tora is (by default) a Tank. Riki could tank really well though.  Assuming he could keep aggro (use dots during a party chain and the massive dot damage will rip aggro pretty fast). Internet Kraken posted:Too bad you're forced to drag around Lyn and Elmo for most of the game since they are mandatory for every story mission. It also had a tedious and bad grind for affinity (until you beat the game?) which made the "not everyone is in the party at all times" thing even worse. Especially since at least one story mission was gated behind affinity with someone other than Lin/Elma so if you never used that party member have fun grinding missions for a few hours. ...and then you find out one of the 100% optional party members is basically a money fountain once you finish her affinity missions and can craft (and sell) her unique skell.

If Pyra is "the Aegis" then why is she a sword, not a shield

You can't change your armor so they had to make up for the lack of swimsuits elsewhere.

The best part of Seven's outfits all being some kind of sex robot is that her face looks exactly like Shulk.

If I was going to try playing the original on the Wii U, would I need just the wiimote or the wiimote and nunchuck/classic controller?

I think the second option, that’s how I play it. Wiimote and classic controller, but it should list required controllers on the shop page so that’ll say if wiimote only works.

I know you know what posters here generally mean when they bring up Tales and anime, even we both know anime paranoia is silly
